Pfizer Commits To Doubling Vaccine Supply In Response To President Biden's Call For A Quicker Rollou
Source: Business Insider
Pfizer committed to double its vaccine supply to the US government by summer, Reuters reported. 12.7% of Americans have received one or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, BBG data shows.
"We're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for all Americans by the end of July," Biden said. On Friday, President Joe Biden secured a commitment from US pharmaceutical company Pfizer to double its COVID-19 vaccine supply to the nation, Reuters reported.
Biden has set a target to fill the country's vaccine stockpile by summer, a situation that Pfizer may have just made a reality. Pfizer's chief executive, Albert Bourla, announced that he expects to more than double the approximately 5 million doses per week that the company provides to the US government. Per Reuters, he made the comments when the president visited one of its biggest manufacturing facilities.
Around 2.7% of the US population has already received one or more shots of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to Bloomberg data. "We're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for all Americans by the end of July," Biden said previously, according to CNN. "That doesn't mean it'll be in all Americans' arms, but enough vaccine will be available," he added.
